At the center of the ancient city of Beijing, was home to 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Built in 1406 with more than 8000 structures and 1.5 millions pieces of collection. Today, the Palace Museum (formerly Forbidden City) is a public museum and World Heritage site. It was renovated again for the 2008 Olympic, so it still has the fresh look.
Most of the tourist places go in to the low season rate since Nov. 1. The admission rate is 40 rmb and student rate is half the price. It is a better time to visit the places in the low season. There far less visitors during this time than high season. However, there are still a lot of visitors, imagine during the high season. It is just like holidays in Disney Land.
It calls the political correct name the Palace Museum now. There are many galleries to the side of the main plaza area, you can spend the whole day here. I do not know is new or has been there all along. When you join a tour just walk from the entrance to the end without side track. There two main corridors along the
main plaza area, and many courtyard complexes branched out with exhibits
